Did you fix it with the .dll patch? If you did, that is dead now. You
have to use the method which involves replacing your hosts (or HOSTS -
can't remember which) file.

In what is probably a blatant copyright violation - here is a copy of
the post I copied to fix mine again:


"All you need to do to solve your problem, is to rename your
"ws2_32.dll" file to for instance "old-ws2_32.dll". Then make sure you
have the latest revision of the patched "hosts" file (2.5 bySABre'911)
sitting in the correct Windows (subdirectory) and you're done.

Concerning the "hosts" file patch:

* Manual replacement/editing:

* Automatic backup and replacement (recommended):

HTH, A
Surely to be sued by Perseus now.
